    What amazes me most is how well the hairline is. The hair looks like it's actually growing out of their heads :D.

    • @carmelamorano6296
      @carmelamorano6296 Před 5 lety +16

      maddie clarke I’d be willing to bet they’re lace front wigs. Lace fronts tend to look more realistic, as the lace gives a more hairliney type thing.

      maddie clarke well sweetie welcome to the world of lacefronts

      @@carmelamorano6296 it's true but I think it isn't only a lace "front". The whole wig is a lace wig so it takes even more time to make them 😂

    Anybody else find it ironic that the wig supervisor is bald? XD

    I always thought they used the actors actual hair for Wicked (especially for Glinda) but I guess they just have amazing wigs

    Thank you guys for your dedication to the craft of wigmaking and styling for theatre. I started in theatre and was trained in England for 5 months in the 90s by a master wig maker who was self taught in Bristol Tall blond Peter Owen, I have lost touch, but I respect and owe him immense gratitude for setting me on a successful path with wigs in Toronto, I now work in film and my years working in theatre has set me apart from film hairstylist because of my wig and period styling. I now teach these valuable skills to salon hairdressers who want to work in film. I no longer make wigs but I teach the fundamentals of making and working with wigs and period styling. I miss the theatre atmosphere and the culture. Keep posting more videos.👍👏👏🙏🏻❤️❤️

    Honestly, I thought they took existing wigs from previous shows and used those again. But now that I think of it, that probably wouldn't work.

  • @emilyxxx1418
    @emilyxxx1418 Před 8 lety +7

    I would love to play glinda and have light brown hair but very very dark, thick eyebrows that would look strange as a blonde - do the wig/makeup people take this kind of thing into consideration?

    • @betsyrhoades3092
      @betsyrhoades3092 Před 8 lety +1

      +Emily B No. The costume and wig designers for the show implement their design, and that's it. It doesn't change.

    • @musicalpugs2974
      @musicalpugs2974 Před 8 lety +11

      Although one of my friends who plays characters for Disney says what she does when she plays Elsa is she puts glue over her eyebrows and pencils then in as blonde. Also Kara Lindsey ( current Glinda ) is a brunette. Sooooo
